i was WRONG.
last three major polls, Cruz BEATS Clinton and Trump loses.
dont say the polls are bad blah blah, they were spot on yesterday.
i THINK Trump can win but STOP with the “Dems are flocking to us” nosense!!
i live in NY and NO ONE DEM i know has changed positions.
Quinipac, NBC, FOX, Cruz up 1 over clinton, trump down 3
I have family members in Virginia and California who usually vote Dem, who are Trump supporters. It’s anecdotal I know, but I thought I’d share that. I’ve heard similar stories about disillusioned Dems or Dem-leaning independents who plan to vote for Trump from a couple dozen people (either talking about themselves or people they know, usually because of the immigration issue, his anti-establishment/political corruption stance, or his anti-PC, tough talk). I have yet to personally find even one independent (much less a Dem) who supports Ted Cruz.
Cruz is my second choice still but I don’t really know if he can even win all of Romney’s states. Running up very high percentages in solidly red states isn’t going to win him the election, and that’s something that scares me about a possible Cruz nomination. Compare that for example with the Michigan poll from a couple of weeks ago that showed Trump easily beating Hillary in that state. It’s the states that matter after all, and Trump can appeal to the people in more states with his populist, pro-US manufacturing, “fair trade,” etc. positions. This in addition to his strong support of the coal industry may bring PA into the red column too (but I do agree that NY is a long shot for any Republican presidential candidate, including Trump).
